Nostalgia

I am very lucky to have the pleasure of my girlfriend cooking for me and i was especially lucky this sunday when i was introduced to a Mellett Family Favourite 'Pine-Camp Casserole' which is undoubtedly the most amazing casserole to walk the planet. It takes a while to make, but the pleasure you will get from it erases that thought immediately. The dish is a trip down memory lane, taking you back to cosy family dinners sitting by the fire.

The following photos are a stroll through the pleasure of cooking it and the delightful end result.

The Wine, a very important part of a delicious meal.

Watching my favourite show has taught me some amazingly clever 'tips' and this one works brilliantly. Slow boil the potatoes, then to mash (only do a couple at a time) and use a utensil to push them through a sieve. Then pour in slightly warmed milk and a dollop of cold butter at the end. Season to taste. It will be creamy and lump free- guaranteed.

The end result, with green beans, honey and sesame seeds.
